obbm Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 A few days ago I took delivery of a new Spector Shorty. Doug Wimbush neck, Aguilar PJ pickups, OBP2 pre-amp. Not over keen on the colour, looks more like camo than black/gold but I wanted a PJ and this was the only one available at the pre-Brexit price. I suppose I can always get it refinished at a later date. Fantastic feel and tone and ideal for my small hands. Also very light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokalo Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 My brother had this in his loft for about 10 years. It's only an entry level NS2000 made in Korea or somewhere. But for £50 I'm pleased (I'm afraid I have no budget for music). I love the pickups, the weight and the colour. There were a couple of serious holes in the body, which I've filled. But I can't hide the repairs so I'm thinking of adding a scratch plate that I'll need to cut myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Firstly, £50's fine for that bass. They were the entry level NS2000's but they're still good. Secondly, DO NOT put a scratchplate on a Spector! If they bass plays ok then the cosmetics can be sorted later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I must admit that, just to get playing, I did initially get some cheap strings off ebay, but they felt a bit rough and I was worried about wearing down the frets. I've come across several threads promoting flats recently, so this month I've tried out Fender 073s. I prefer the softness of flatwound strings and the deeper, fatter tone when I'm playing as support to the rest of the band, but I can't help feeling the guitar's lost some sparkle and brashiness when I try to play anything a bit more adventurous. I suspect I should get a second bass that's more suited to flats and put (quality) roundwounds back on the Spector! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahambythesea Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 A Rebop and a Spectorcore 5 are my arsenal. I think the Spectorcore is particularly good, great ebony board and action, I think more people should play these they are great value and quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Nice bass but I'm not a fan of Barts on anything, except maybe an open fire. If you can live with the tone where's the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I had them on my Roscoe 5 - seemed to lack the ooomph that I wanted and expected. Personally I haven't found anything fitted with Barts since that I liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
